Web Testing on multiple browsers

A button or filter of your online shop that works fine in one browser might not work in another browser. It is important to test the features of your website on all the different kinds of browsers your clients use. That can be very time consuming. Thanks to website automation we can safe you plenty of time. Define your test scenario once and test it on different browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome automatically.

Based on Selenium – A Web Browser Automation Framework

Selenium is an open source framework designed for web browser automation which is available for various programming languages like Java, C#, Ruby, Python and JavaScript (Node). For programmers it is commonly used to implement automated test suits for web applications. There is also a browser plugin available to use this framework: the Selenium IDE. FRET puts a user friendly GUI in front of Selenium to use it with different browsers, provides necessary hardware, holds the whole set up ready for you, schedules your test cases, reports the results and makes the analysis easy for you.

Functional & Automated Web Interface Testing

FRET ist made to test the UI of your web application from a user perspective. It is not for conventional unit software tests. It doesn’t test different parts of your software. FRET tests whether or not the website looks like and behaves like it is supposed to. No matter what the code behind the scene looks like. This makes it a perfect regression testing tool for websites.

Screenshot analysis with our automated web testing tool

Sometimes it is important to know not only that a feature works as it is supposed to but also how the feature looks like in a certain browser. Also it could be helpful to see what the website looks like when a test case fails in order to find the error. For this reason you can define for every step in your test cases whether you want to take a screenshot or not. Also you can choose whether you want FRET only to take the screenshot for information purposes or compare it to the last screenshot that you have marked as valid. Even more you can define certain areas of the screenshot that should be ignored during the comparison process and furthermore you have the option to define how sensible the screenshot comparison should be.

Fully automizable

As soon as you have defined the test cases they can be scheduled fully flexible to run automatically. Set the intervals for the automated testing of your website as you wish on hourly basis, every second day, weekly or what else you like.
